I've given module edit permissions to administrators and when they post an entry to the blog the entry shows that the host created it, instead of showing the name of the administrator.

My thoughts on this blog module were initially optimistic but the more I use it the more I think it lacks needed features (compared to other blogging solutions).

This module doesn't do anything really that great. I realize it's free, but does anyone know of a better blogging solution than this?

The blog module is a very functional solution and satisfies the requirements of the majority of users.  It's perfectly valid to point out flaws, request enhancements, ask for alternatives.  There's a few enhnancements I'd like to see happen to the blog module as well.  Bailing to another platform because the bundled feature does not meet your requirements (especially when there are others available) might be a bit of an overreaction? *grin*

The key to Kelly's issue would have been to have the users "create" (setup) their own blog.  Personally I find this a flaw as well, but the intial implementation of this module was for self-service in a trusted environment rather than centrally managed setup and administration.  There are other blog modules available which have more and less features or function differently altogether.  Choice is good.

Antonio may have overreacted a bit to Kelly (in retrospect I know he woudl agree), but for volunteers who put their personal time into free stuff... that's understandable.  It's not necessary to declare anybody's work awful just because its not working for you.  One of the great thing about open source is that there's always opportunity for something new to come along ;-)
